1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

So many jap cars out here. Just getting rear brake backing plates off is a bitch because rust.


New backing plates from Toyota are 233 each. Then 200 each for wheel bearings. All said and done I’m over 800 if I go all new parts. I bought the car for 500. Lol

 

That's with your discount?

 

Things like that are expensive on special models unfortunately

 

We missed this, if you fill the cup you get on the board.

 

@BartMaster1234 guess my prediction was wrong. I'll be pushing 300 by the time it reaches 1/4. Key in acc so that's the cel.

 

Today is the last day of napa's 20% off three or more items sale. Just get the battery and some wiper fluid.

 

College quote of the day: "whenever I come to this class, I dont wear a seatbelt hoping I die before I get to class."

 

And here I am eating nachos with chili. Thanks for ruining my lunch.

 

Thats interesting, full independent suspension on a jeep

More like a dual frame jeep

 

thats disgusting and awesome all at once haha

 

Dropped it off at Toyota. I got one of the service advisors who actually knows what hes talking about this time too. He said there was definetly something wrong with the pedal feel. I was also hearing a squeak sound coming from the caliper that gave me trouble while he was pressing it, so @zero4 you may be on to something. Looks like the same tech I had look at it last week is gonna diagnose it this time too.

 

The automatic transmission really is a hungry SOB.

 

I get shitty mileage with a 5spd too, don't worry. Like he said before, he's got the 3RZ and 4.30s and 5 speed...only thing that would make it even better at MPGs would be if it were 2wd.

Back when my truck was stock minus the supercharger, I once got 315 miles on a tank all highway...I was thrilled. Haven't cracked 300 since and these days I'm lucky to crack 230 lol.

 

Our trucks are essentially the same besides the 5-Speed. I have 4.30 too, don’t know if it helps much.

 

For the record, my dad used to own a 2001 double cab prerunner with the 3Rz and auto. It was a pig.

 

Wish I had 4.3s stock...I've got 4.1s. That's right I forgot you were 3RZ as well

 

4.30 front differential was a bitch to find. I looked all over the country on car-part, and eBay. I never ended up finding one since they’re Uber rare on the Tacoma.

I had to buy one from a rustbucket 1996 4Runner.

 

Tell me about it.
